ADDINOL Gas engine oils – Tried and tested in practice many a time Successful application in the largest landfill gas plant of Scandinavia The operation of gas engines with landfill gas, which is usually high in hydrogen sulphide, does mean enormous loads both for engine and engine oil. In the largest landfill gas site in Scandinavia in Espoo/ Finland the content of hydrogen sulphide amounts to about 600 ppm. (In comparison: according to standard the share in natural gas must not exceed 10 ppm.) This is a perfect challenge for ADDINOL Gas engine oil MG 40-Extra Plus. Acid components, which arise...

Highest engine cleanliness, reliable wear protection ADDINOL Gas engine oils achieve operating lives which are up to 50 % longer than the operating lives of conventional gas engine oils. Their oil change intervals are determined individually. Operating lives and the condition of the gas engine oil can be described by the help of specific values. However, the exact state of engine cleanliness and possible wear can only be ascertained by an examination with a borescope or by disassembling the engine. Within comprehensive field tests of up to 16,000 operating hours various gas engines have Bearing...
